| description | Objective: In the past, obstetricians were highly skilled in obstetric procedures. An increase in cesarean section rates, especially in developed countries, has led to a gradual loss of obstetric skills.
Case Reports: Two cases are reported, the first being a case of face presentation in the mentoposterior position and the second a case of transverse lie with a prolapsed hand, both with intrauterine death.
Conclusion: Cesarean sections in both cases, although justified, were avoided after a successful trial of other obstetric procedures. |
